Students can receive financial support through various avenues. Here are some common options to explore:
1. Scholarships: Many schools offer scholarships based on academic merit, athletic achievements, artistic talents, or other criteria. Research and apply for scholarships that align with your qualifications and interests.
2. Grants: Grants are typically need-based and do not require repayment. They can be provided by the government, educational institutions, or private organizations. Check with your school's financial aid office or search for grants specific to your field of study.
3. Work-Study Programs: These programs provide part-time employment opportunities on campus, allowing students to earn money to help cover their educational expenses. Contact your school's financial aid office to inquire about work-study opportunities.
4. Financial Aid: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine your eligibility for federal financial aid programs, such as grants, loans, and work-study. Your school's financial aid office can guide you through the process and provide information on available options.
5. Tuition Assistance Programs: Some schools offer their own tuition assistance programs or have partnerships with external organizations that provide financial support to students. Inquire with your school's financial aid office about such programs.
6. Student Loans: If other options are insufficient, you may consider taking out student loans. Be sure to research and understand the terms and conditions of the loans, including interest rates and repayment plans, before making a decision.
Remember to reach out to your school's financial aid office for personalized guidance and information on available resources. They can provide specific details about the financial support options offered by your institution.

FAFSA- you submit an application and depending on your responses, you can be offered a combination of grants you don't have to pay back, loans, and work study.
Essay contests- there's many websites that host monthly essay scholarship contests.
Questbridge- aimed towards helping low income higher achieving students. Involves a lengthy application process with strict timelines.
Schools have scholarships available that you may be considered for just by applying as well as other opportunities you will need to apply to separately.
I suggest you look at the schools you will apply to and work with your college guidance counselors to see what each school can offer in financial aid.
